=== Mission === | |||
We are building an array of biosensors as part of our program to: | |||
# familiarize people with collecting data | |||
# provide useful health related information displayed in a digestible manner to the device wearer | |||
# provide larger data samples to medical professionals should the user choose to share what they have collected | |||
# promote healthy living and health awareness | |||
# encourage hobby electronics by using open sourced hardware | |||
Our initial audience for this device kit will be secondary schools and colleges. It will be marketed as an educational and personal experimental tool. The array will collect data from various sensors attached to the test subject's body and then make that data available to the experimenter. The project will use as many common consumer parts as possible. | |||
